Kogi man explains why he waited till 74yrs old before leaving bachelorhood
A 74-year-old Nigerian man from Kogi State, Mallam Muhammad Awal, has married for the first time.
His marriage to 45-year-old divorcee, Mallama Rahmat Muhammad, took place in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital on Sunday, August 28. Fielding questions from journalists on why he is getting married for the first time at 74, he said it should firstly be blamed on his financial status, and then his good mind of not wanting his spouse to ever leave him due to his inabilities to be a man in everything towards her.
“I have always been afraid I might fail in my duty of care to a spouse if I married and it is something I fear and don’t want to joke with. I am also afraid of separation from my spouse. I know if I fail to take care of her, she might either leave me or cheat on me with another man, which I would not like. So, to avoid all of that, I dismissed the idea of marriage altogether. But now, Allah has made this a reality.” he said.
